I’m sorry Gramma! Gramma should not be “off-limits” at any time, but unfortunately some daughters are not thinking of how they will feel when it comes time for THEM to be grammas.

I’m waiting for the jury to come back on that, once this baby is born. I missed most of my grandsons’ lives because of the way my daughter felt about me.

But what goes around comes around. I will pray that your daughter’s heart will be softened and that she will come to realize that your help and love are inestimable in young Marshall’s life.

*HUG*

It’s OK Face. I know she needs to feel like she’s “in charge” of “her son”. Plus, her husband has the week off, so they’ve been sharing him between themselves.

I sent her a text last night, asking for Grandma time, and today, at 8am, hubby woke me up with “There’s a grandson here to visit you!” Then he couldn’t stop laughing because I was out of bed so fast! I had him for 20 mins., while she took her dogs out. Then my arm went numb, so I gave him back. ;-)
When her hubby goes back to work, she will need me to help more.

It’s a fine line I am walking so that I don’t interfere, but it’s the right thing for me to do.
